The Wolseley is a renowned café-restaurant in London that offers expertly executed brasserie-style dishes, making it a landmark for its historic setting and food.



The Wolseley’s architecture and interior feel like stepping into a slice of 1920s glamour, with its soaring ceilings, black-and-gold detailing, and marble columns that give the whole space a timeless, almost cinematic charm.



The Wolseley’s menu is all about timeless European classics, and it’s especially known for its elegant breakfasts, afternoon teas, and dishes like schnitzels, oysters, and steaks.



Bri and I stopped here for breakfast. She opted for their tea - which includes classic blends like Earl Grey and English Breakfast to more delicate options like Darjeeling and Jasmine Silver Needle, all served in elegant silver pots.



I, on the other hand, opted for a hot chocolate. Specifically, The Wolseley Hot Chocolate, which was a bit on the more bittersweet side but the whipped cream sweetened up a fair bit.



Bri went for a small eggs benedict - which was just one, but expertly crafted.



I, on the other hand, had to try the Bubble & Squeak. Bubble and squeak is a traditional British dish made by frying leftover vegetables—most commonly potatoes and cabbage—until they’re browned and crispy, often served as part of a hearty breakfast or brunch. The name comes from the sound it makes while cooking in the pan. This version came with Wild Mushrooms and a Fried Duck Egg. So tasty!



Finally, I had some Banana Bread with vanilla butter and fruit compote. So simple but so pleasant.
